Lancaster Eco-Alliance Project (LA1)

We can be eco-shoppers even if we forget our shopping bags because there is Lancaster Eco-Alliance Project!

Lancaster Eco-Alliance Project was born with a question: what can we do to create an eco-minded shopping environment that is friendly at all fronts? With the simple act that shops are happy to take in CLEAN shopping bags from customers to reuse, the positive effects are:

1) Shops reduce need for new plastic bags.2) Customers are guilt-free when they forget bringing shopping bags or having too few shopping bags to bring the goodies home. Shopping bags can be reused instead of going to the bin. 3) The environment is helped by less natural resources excavation for making new bags, fewer bags going to landfills/ocean.

Win, win, win!

Extra to the visible effects is we promote an eco-minded shopping culture that is desperately needed today.More extra is that we bring the local independent shops to the front to customers. Independent shops are treasures to give characters to a place and definitely need support from customers, so we are doing what we can in this local eco-group!

A bid by Labour councillors to encourage more residents and businesses to do their bit to reduce the number of plastic bottles ending up in landfill and the sea has been supported unanimously by Lancaster City Council

Lancaster City Council is to close Alfred Street recycling site in Lancaster after local residents said it had become an eyesore. In November last year, the council asked residents in the area for their views on the site and the vast majority felt that the site had become a hotspot for flytipping and that they would be happy to recycle using their kerbside recycling boxes.
